DUTCH Tests Available

We provide a range of DUTCH tests to check your hormonal health. Each test offers targeted and personalized insights into your endocrine system.

DUTCH Complete Test

The DUTCH Complete Test delivers a full assessment of hormones and their metabolites. It evaluates adrenal and sex hormones, including cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. The DUTCH urine test identifies hormonal imbalances and supports tailored treatment strategies.

DUTCH Plus Test

The DUTCH Plus Test builds on the DUTCH Complete Test by incorporating an evaluation of your cortisol awakening response. It contains a detailed analysis of adrenal function and stress levels. Best for those dealing with chronic stress, fatigue, or sleep disruptions.

DUTCH Sex Hormone Metabolites Test

The DUTCH Sex Hormone Metabolites Test zeroes in on sex hormones and their metabolites. It assesses reproductive health issues such as menstrual irregularities, menopause, and fertility concerns. This test helps pinpoint hormonal imbalances by analyzing estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone metabolites.

DUTCH Adrenal Test

The DUTCH Adrenal Test focuses on adrenal health by measuring cortisol levels throughout the day. It helps identify how stress impacts your body and can uncover adrenal fatigue or dysfunction. It also offers crucial insights into your stress response and adrenal function.

DUTCH Cortisol Awakening Response Test

The DUTCH Cortisol Awakening Response Test measures cortisol levels immediately after waking and throughout the morning. This test is key for evaluating adrenal function and identifying stress-related issues. It provides valuable information to better manage stress and improve adrenal health.

These at-home DUTCH tests offer convenient, detailed assessments of your hormonal health. With personalized insights and recommendations, you can take control of your wellness with confidence.

Hormones You Can Measure with DUTCH Test

Estrogen

Estrogen regulates the menstrual cycle and reproductive health in women. It also supports bone health and cardiovascular function. Measuring estrogen levels helps identify imbalances that affect health.

Progesterone

Progesterone maintains pregnancy and regulates the menstrual cycle. It balances estrogen and promotes hormonal health. Monitoring progesterone levels aids in diagnosing fertility challenges and menstrual disorders.

Testosterone

Testosterone supports muscle mass, bone density, and sexual function in both men and women. It also affects mood and energy. Assessing testosterone levels identifies deficiencies or excesses that influence physical and mental health.

Melatonin

Melatonin governs the sleep-wake cycle and ensures healthy sleep patterns. Measuring melatonin levels helps diagnose sleep disorders and improve sleep quality.

Free Cortisol Pattern

The free cortisol pattern tracks stress responses throughout the day. It provides insights into adrenal health and stress management. Evaluating this pattern helps diagnose adrenal fatigue and stress-related issues.

Total and Metabolized Cortisol

Total and metabolized cortisol levels offer a detailed view of adrenal function and stress hormone processing. These metrics are essential for understanding the effects of chronic stress on health.

Neurotransmitter Metabolites

Neurotransmitter metabolites reveal brain chemistry and function. They influence mood, sleep, and cognitive performance. Monitoring these metabolites helps manage mental health and neurological conditions.

Estrogen Metabolites

Estrogen metabolites are breakdown products of estrogen that show how the body processes it. Measuring these metabolites assesses risks related to estrogen, including breast cancer.

Androgen Metabolites

Androgen metabolites are testosterone and androgen byproducts that detail androgen activity in the body. They help diagnose hormonal imbalances in men and women.

Nutritional Organic Acids

Nutritional organic acids are metabolic byproducts that reflect nutritional and metabolic health. Measuring these acids helps detect deficiencies and improve health through nutrition.

Oxidative Stress

Oxidative stress shows the balance between free radicals and antioxidants. Elevated oxidative stress can cause chronic diseases and aging. Monitoring it supports prevention and management of cellular damage-related conditions.

Health Problems You Can Find with DUTCH Test

How Does the DUTCH Test Work?

The DUTCH test is a highly accurate and thorough tool for assessing hormonal health. Harmonia Health Solutions provides a more complete picture of hormonal function than traditional blood tests by analyzing hormones and their metabolites through dried urine samples.

When paired with blood work, this test delivers an even deeper understanding of hormonal balance and health, guiding more precise treatment plans.

  • The test requires urine samples collected four to five times over 24 hours to capture daily hormone fluctuations.
  • You collect samples on filter paper, which dries for easy and non-invasive handling.
  • This at-home collection process is convenient and straightforward.
  • The DUTCH test measures key hormones and their metabolites, including cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
  • It evaluates adrenal function through cortisol levels measured throughout the day, known as the free cortisol pattern.
  • Metabolite analysis reveals how hormones are broken down and utilized in the body.
  • Once samples are submitted to the lab, they undergo advanced testing using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
  • This state-of-the-art method ensures high sensitivity and accuracy for precise results.

The DUTCH test provides a detailed report, including:

  • Hormone levels and their metabolites.
  • Neurotransmitter metabolites, nutritional organic acids, and oxidative stress markers.
  • Insights into hormone metabolism and excretion pathways. Contact us for more information about this test.

How to Interpret the Results of DUTCH Test

After completing the DUTCH test, you will receive a detailed report that outlines your hormone levels and their metabolites. Once the lab receives your samples, it usually takes 2–3 weeks to process and deliver your results. Exact processing times may vary slightly based on the lab’s schedule.

What to Expect from Your DUTCH Test Results

  • Your DUTCH test results provide a comprehensive breakdown of:
  • Hormones such as cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, along with their metabolites.
  • Additional markers, including neurotransmitter metabolites, nutritional organic acids, and oxidative stress indicators.

A licensed provider at Harmonia Health Solutions will review your DUTCH test results with you. They will explain each marker’s significance, identify any hormonal imbalances, and discuss how these findings relate to your health.

You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and gain a clear understanding of your results and their implications.

Based on your results, your healthcare provider will design a tailored action plan. Recommendations may include dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, supplements, or other treatments to correct hormonal imbalances or address health concerns.
